Guide For Tenants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When starting your search we recommend researching local information and deciding on your preferred area. Get a \u2018feel\u2019 for the area before booking any viewing appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When searching on the internet set your search to the minimum number of bedrooms, your maximum price, a location radius and your furnishing type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rental market is fast moving so it\u2019s important you sign up for email and text alerts when searching on the web. We would recommend you register with agents online and in person. Be honest and realistic about your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to be realistic about how much rent you will be able to afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a guide your annual income (before tax) must be at least 2.5 times the annual rent of the property you are applying for. For example: Rent at \u00a3500 per calendar month, Per year \u00a36,000 (\u00a3500.00 X 12 Months, Minimum annual salary \u00a315,000 (As per \u00a36,000 X 2.5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before making any decision, we would always recommend viewing the property. At Jinks Aston we accompany all prospective tenants \u2013 this gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
